@Sultan Ahmed:
"There must be distance between armed forces,artilery and morters It is essential for confidence building measures also."
The problem is that Pakistani forces provide cover fire to the terrorists who cross over to India. This being the fact, it would be dereliction of duty if India pulls back its forces. Also, let's not forget the Kargil drama that Musharraf enacted.
The last meeting, Pakistan had proposed to India that deployment of artillery and mortars should be done 30 miles away from the line of control but India denied by saying that these are not at the strategic position. hypocrisy hypocrisy hypocrisy. According to my considered opinion.any proposal leading to peace must be acceptablle It is indispensable for peace. There must be distance between armed forces,artilery and morters It is essential for confidence building measures also.
